Pros
- Tremendous work-life balance. Rocketrip allows me to thrive in and out of the office. Flexible and accommodating hours and unlimited vacation policy - A group of smart, compassionate, and creative individuals. Each person has a unique background with different technical skills and experience. Great work environment to be a "fly on the wall" and exchange ideas. - The product is fun, exciting, and engaging. Based on the conversations that happen during meetings or even casually among coworkers, it seems like people genuinely care about our mission and the impact we have on our clients. - There are constantly opportunities to socialize during and after work hours. Fun/meaningful slack channels, happy hours, office lunches, social responsibility events, health and wellness workshops.
Kontras
- There are serious growing pains working for a startup, and Rocketrip is not an exception. Repeatedly, we are spending time dealing with short-term crises /putting out fires often as a result of miscommunication, misunderstanding, or lack of consideration between departments. - There have been issues in the past with strategic planning. Specifically, when it comes direction, there have been misalignment issues across departments, philosophically and tactically. - Sometimes we're not efficient or thoughtful in how we allocate time for strategic discussions, all-hands meetings, and group exercises.
